CISP: The lettering is Insular half-uncial. The A's are in the 'OC' form and the first minuscule H appears to have a wedge-shaped finial. The R is half-uncial, as is the T with a curved ascender and a flat top-stroke. The N is minuscule with a rounded top stroke.

Orthanach (Language: Goidelic; Gender: male)
Petrie/1872, 24: `Orthanach was the name of the abbot of Cill Foibrigh, or Kilbrow, near Ashbourne, in Meath, who died in the year 809. There was also a bishop of Kildare of this name, who died in the year 839. Subsequently it became a Christian name, and Dr. Todd mentions a poet called Orthanach O'Caellama, of the Curragh of Kildare (Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy, vol.v., p.171)'.
